Together [GMW]

Chapter 25

*4 days later*

   Right now we're at the ski lodge. We go here every year. I'm laying down with Lucas, who got hurt yesterday while skiing. Now he has to use crutches for the rest of the trip, so now we can't do any outdoor activities together, Yay. It's currently 6:30 AM and our next activity is at 8:00. Lucas and I woke up at 6:15 and we've just been talking with a little bit of making out.
   "You know I feel like you did this on purpose," I tell him.
   "Yes Maya I sprained my ankle because I wanted you and Riley to become best friends again that badly."
   "Exactly. I bet it doesn't even hurt." I look up at him and he rolls his eyes.
   "It does, a lot, but whatever. You're just mad because you have to actually talk to Riley now."
   "You should be too because now Josh isn't going to have a reason not to talk to me." He doesn't say anything and neither does his expression. "It's fine gosh don't get all serious." I give him a kiss and crawl out of bed. "I'm gonna go change in the bathroom."
   "Okay, love you."
   "Love you, too." I grab my clothes out of my luggage and then head to the bathroom.

*Lucas's POV*

   I change into a black hoodie and some jeans (outfits above) and go into the common room. I go to Farkle and sit down next to him. "Farkle, I need a favor, man."
   Farkle looked at me, eyes squinted, "What type of favor?"
   "I need you to make sure Maya and Josh stay as far away from each other as possible."
   "Won't Maya be mad that you dont trust her?"
   "I trust Maya, she knows that. I don't trust, Josh."
   I could tell he was contemplating, but eventually he decided. "Okay, but if she finds out. You forced me to do this." I nod just as Maya walks in.
   "Huckleberry," Maya said. "You're suppose to be resting."
   "It's fine, Maya. You go have fun bonding with Riley and I'll just sit here. Having no fun, whatsoever." Farkle gave a nervous smile and walked off towards his job, Josh.
   Maya took his spot and placed her hand on mine. I turn my hand, palm side up, and hold her hand. "No talking to girls."
   Her protectiveness causes me to smile, "I can't talk to any girls?"
   "You can talk to ugly girls," she states. I chuckle. "Okay I have to go in a minute." She places her side hand on my cheek while I wrap my arm around her waist. She gets closer til our lips touch, lasting for a good couple seconds. "Okay no girls," she gets up and looks at me, waiting for a response.
   "Yes ma'am. No pretty girls. The problem is there are no other pretty girls beside you." The last comment causes her to blush.
   "Whatever Ranger Rick," she told me. She tried to hide her gorgeous smile, but every other feature was smiling too, making it obvious. "I love you."
   "I love you, too," I return and with that she walks out the door.

   "Damn, dude, she's smokin' hot," Ryder told me.
   "Yeah, I know," I respond. I click off my phone and put it back in my pocket.
   "This is me with my girlfriend."

   "Great job, dude. Don't tell my girlfriend, though. She'll kill me."
   "Ha, I would say the same but my girl's at home."
   Ryder and I have been talking for an hour. He broke his wrist so he's staying behind too. So far I've learned we're both into blondes, we both like baseball, and what's going on in our current lives.
   "So how long have you and Maya been dating?"
   "Not that long, actually just 8 days."
   "By the way you talk about her, it seems like a lot longer than 8 days."
   "It's," I inhale, "complicated."
   He looks at the clock and back at me, "Well my family isn't gonna be back for over an hour and neither are yours so..."
   I explained to him all that happened. From Maya being there for me after Missy and I broke up to the coma. He told me about his complications with Mia, his girlfriend.

   Thirty minutes later, everyone came back. Maya laughed while walking in with Riley. Farkle followed through with the plan. He was walking with Josh. Maya came over to me, and I introduced her to Ryder. Before she could say anything else, she got a call from Zay and went into our room to talk to him.

*Maya POV*

"Hey Zay," I say into the phone.
"I have a problem," he replies
"What? No, hey Maya how you doing?"
"This isn't the time Vanessa wants to talk to me."
"Ugh. Zay, Zay, Zay," I say shaking my head. "Look, Zay, you should go visit them." The door creaks. I turn around and see Lucas. He sits next to me on the bed.
"What am I gonna say," Zay asks.
"Maybe if we tell other people, like Lucas, for example, we can get their opinion."
I can hear Zay sighing on the other end, "okay, but no one else. You know how big of a deal this is."
"Okay. Send me a pic of the baby."
"Yeah, yeah. Have fun on the trip because I sure as hell won't."
"If it makes you feel better Lucas sprained his ankle so neither will he."
"Sorta makes me feel better. Bye."
"Bye"

   "So you remember that secret Zay and I have," I ask Lucas.
   He squints his eyes at me, "yeah. The one everyone still wants to know."
   "Well, because I'm the best girlfriend, I get to tell you, but you can't freak. Okay?"
   He nods his head, "okay."
   "He got Vanessa pregnant 9 months ago," I paused because the rest is a mouthful, "but she gave birth 5 weeks early. So the baby, who is a girl, has been in the NICU, and now she's getting out, so Vanessa wants Zay to visit them. The thing is Zay doesn't know if he's ready to like officially become a dad."
   "Oh... okay."
   "Yeah," I laugh, "Look we need to talk."
   "Can it wait til after we kiss?"
   "No actually, it can't."
   "Okay then. What is it?"
   I take a deep breath and look into my lap, "I think we should break up."
